Gyro Days this week
The Lead Creek Derby Gyro Ball floats under the River Street Bridge in Mullan in 2019. That year the ball took roughly three-and-a-half hours to get to Wallace's Sixth Street Bridge.

WALLACE — This week marks the 83rd running of the Wallace Gyro Club’s Lead Creek Derby — the club’s signature and sole fundraiser supporting college scholarships, youth programs and civic initiatives.
Saturday’s main event — the Lead Creek Derby — begins at noon when the ceremonial ball is dropped from the Last Chance Bridge in Mullan. This year’s honor goes to Wayne “Sano” Haldi, a lifelong Wallace supporter. A 1955 Wallace High School graduate and longtime pro at the Shoshone Golf and Tennis Club, Sano has worn many hats in the community over the years.
